The Effectiveness of Spasticity-correcting Upper Limb Surgery Versus Botulinum Toxin Injections in Patients With Upper Limb Spasticity: an Experimental Study With Paired Design
Summary: Spasticity is a common complication following central nervous system injuries. Left untreated, spasticity can lead to various complications, hindering activities of daily living and diminishing independence. Spasticity affecting the hand is particularly debilitating because it prevents prehension and grasp, which are critical factors for the ability to perform activities of daily living independen...
A Randomized Controlled Trial: Alternative Post Procedural Analgesia With NSAIDs vs Opioids in Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy of Elbow
Summary: This study is a double-blind, randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of oral acetaminophen, diclofenac, and tramadol in reducing the consumption of narcotic doses (primary outcome) and minimizing patients' exposure to narcotics (secondary outcome) following an ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle tenotomy procedure on the lateral elbow.
Ultrasonic Tenotomy as a Treatment of Partial Rotator Cuff Tear of the Supraspinatus Tendon: A Pilot Feasibility Study
Summary: The focus of this study is to examine changes in pain scores, strength, and range of motion over time following an ultrasonic tenotomy on a partial tear (\<50%) of the supraspinatus tendon of the rotator cuff.
The Effect of Targeting the Plantaris Muscle-tendon Unit in Surgical Correction of Ankle Equinus in Children
Summary: Tight ankle muscles can produce ankle equinus (limited ability to pull the foot upward) and occur often in children, significantly impacting their ability to walk. If not treated, children with ankle equinus frequently experience reduced function and long-term foot problems, such as pain. Currently, treatment options include surgery or Botulinum toxin (BoNTA) injection into the large calf muscles ...
Subscapularis Repair in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Multi-Center Randomized Single Blinded Superiority Study
Summary: The subscapularis is part of the rotator cuff and is release as part of a reverse shoulder replacement. The decision to repair this tendon is controversial. This research is being done to help determine if rotator cuff repair improves or hinders shoulder replacement. A worrisome but rare complication after shoulder replacement is dislocation. Rotator cuff repair may help reduce this risk. The repa...
Guided Growth in Spastic Hip - Multicenter Study (GGSH-MC)
Summary: The Guided Growth in Spastic Hip Multicenter Study (GGSH-MC) is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial that aims to evaluate the mid-term outcomes of Proximal Femoral Guided Growth (PFGG) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and hips at risk of dislocation (HRD). Hip dislocation is a common and severe complication in children with CP, especially those who are non-ambulator...
Evaluation of Percutaneous Tenotomy of the Gluteus Medius and Iliotibial Band for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS): A Randomized Clinical Trial
Summary: The objective of this study is to evaluate how an ultrasound-guided percutaneous procedure, TENEX, can help people with chronic hip pain resulting from a condition called Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) and to characterize the efficacy of percutaneous tenotomy (PUT) using TENEX®, a device used for the treatment of various tendinopathies. In this study an ultrasound (US) is performed to g...
Treatment of the Biceps With Concomitant Supraspinatus Tears: A Multicenter Pragmatic Three-Arm Parallel-Group Randomized Surgical Trial
Summary: The long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon is thought to be a common source of shoulder pain and dysfunction in patients with rotator cuff pathology. Tenotomy and tenodesis have been shown to produce favourable and comparable results in treating LHB lesions, but a controversy still exists regarding the treatment of choice. Some suggest that tenotomy should be reserved for older, low-demand patients,...
A Needle Technique for Achilles Tendon Lengthening in Pediatric Patients: A Prospective Study on Efficacy, Safety, and Feasibility
Summary: For years, we have used a minimally invasive and biological variant of Achilles tendon lengthening using a needle inserted into the Achilles tendon so that it is weakened and can be gradually stretched to the desired length. So far, no negative effects, complications or tendon problems have been observed. A prospective study of a cohort of children and adolescents is planned where there is an indi...
Study Evaluating the Clinical Improvement Obtained by Endoscopic Tenotomy of the Ilio-Psoas, at the Level of the Lesser Trochanter Versus at the Level of the Acetabular Notch, on Psoas Cup Impingements After Total Hip Prosthesis
Summary: The purpose of the study is to assess Oxford Hip Score at baseline, at 2 months and at over 12 months.
Psoas Tenotomy Under Ultrasound
Summary: The ilio-psoas conflict is a commonly accepted complication after total hip replacement, often linked to a mispositioning of the acetabular prosthetic component that conflicts with the ilio-psoas tendon. To correct these pains, a psoas tenotomy can be proposed. The results proven by the literature are very satisfactory. Psoas tenotomy is performed endoscopically, arthroscopically, or more rarely o...
Prophylactic Conjoint Tendon Lengthening During Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: is There a Difference in Anterior Shoulder Pain At One Year After Surgery?
Summary: Some patients may experience persistent pain in the front of their shoulder after reverse shoulder replacement. One of the possible reasons for this is that the surgery causes a change in the alignment of the shoulder joint, which may cause increased tension and compression on one of the biceps tendon called the conjoint tendon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether conjoint tendon leng...
